Abstract

Outcomes research offers out-of-hospital medicine a valuable methodology for studying the effectiveness of services provided in the out-of hospital setting. A clear understanding of the history and constructs of outcomes research is necessary for its integration into emergency medical services research. This report describes the conceptual framework of outcomes research and key methodological considerations for the successful implementation of out-of-hospital outcomes research. Illustrations of the specific applications of outcomes research and implications to existing methodologies are given, as well as suggestions for improved interdisciplinary research.

摘要

结果研究为院外医学提供了一种宝贵的方法，用于研究在院外环境中提供的服务的有效性。要将结果研究纳入急诊医疗服务研究，必须清楚了解其历史和构成要素。本报告描述了结果研究的概念框架以及成功开展院外结果研究的关键方法学考量。文中给出了结果研究具体应用的示例及其对现有方法的影响，还提出了改进跨学科研究的建议。
